• Can You Run Power Wire for Curt Harness on 2018 Toyota Sienna to Rear of Vehicle
• It's required to route the power wire for the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector part # C56261 directly to the battery. It cannot be run to any other circuit on the vehicle. The fuse for the power must be within a certain distance from the battery and the circuit must be rated appropriately. That said, you can install the harness any way you like but you're only covered under warranty if installed per the instructions.

• Are Sidewalls Available for the Yakima SlimShady Awning
• I do have a solution for you but unfortunately the Yakima SlimShady Awning # Y36VR does not have any side panels that you can add. We do have the Rhino-Rack Sunseeker Awning # RR32132 though which is a little bit larger and is comparable to the SlimShady. Rhino-Rack offers the side panel # RR32112 which you can add one to either side and the front panel # RR32111. You can use these to extend the footprint of the awning or as a windbreaker/privacy section. I have attached a review video...

• Is Drilling Required to Install Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch # 75120 on a 2001 Toyota Sienna
• In order to install the Draw-Tite trailer hitch, # 75120, you would need to drill 2 holes, 1 on each frame rail. I have included a link to the installation instructions for you to view. Drilling the holes will not be that difficult. You will attach the hitch to the 4 (2 on each side) holes that are already there. Then you will use the hitch as a template and drill the holes for the remaining two attachment points. Using a special high quality drill bit like the 1/2 inch rotabroach bit...

• Identifying Wire Functions to Install Hopkins 4 Pole to 5 Pole Trailer Wiring Adapter # 47515
• The best and safest method for identifying vehicle wiring functions is to test the wire using a circuit tester such as # PTW2993. Vehicle manufacturers may change wire colors between production runs and so color alone is not a reliable method. You can apply your tester to the various taillight wires (while a helper safely places the vehicle in reverse to activate that circuit) to find the one that carries the reverse light signal. Once you identify the correct wire you can use the quick-splice...

• Should the Replacement Rivet Covers for a Thule Motion XT Cargo Box Fit Snug
• I'm not entirely sure why the Replacement Rivet Cover for Thule Rooftop Cargo Boxes # 14303 aren't fitting snug without seeing what's happening. In any case, I'd just put some super glue on the stem and let it cure inside the rivet hole. That way it won't come out, and it'll be as snug as you'd ever need it to be.

• What Wire Should The Red Wire From Redarc Brake Controller Connect on 2022 Toyota Sienna?
• When we installed the Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty Brake Controller # RED24FR on a 2022 Toyota Sienna in our shop we determined the blue wire coming out of the brake switch to be the correct wire to connect to the red wire for the Wiring Harness # RED69FR. I have included this install video below which you can see at the 15:05 time mark in the video. I do recommend using a Test Light # PTW2993 to verify this is the correct wire on your Sienna as well.

• How to Determine if Trailer Axles Should Go Above or Below Leaf Springs
• If you were happy with the ground clearance that the trailer had with the old setup then I would recommend you stick with the way you had it with the axle below the springs. If you moved the axle above the spring you would lose ground clearance and would have to re-weld the spring seats on the axles. The only reason to switch from what you had would be if you needed the trailer to sit lower. We do sell kits to move the axle though. The diameter of your trailer axle will determine the...

• How to Prevent Exhaust Rattle After Trailer Hitch Install on a 2006 Toyota Sienna
• Yes, what you are going to want to do is place a large pry bar between the hitch/exhaust hangers and bend them slightly just enough to prevent the exhaust from contacting the hitch. This is rather common as the exhaust placement from the factory can vary ever so slightly. If you need a more in depth explanation then we do have a help article which I have attached for you on this very same procedure. Please let me know if you have any other questions.

• How is Trailer Wiring Connector Used with Trailer if it is Stored in Rear Hatch
• A trailer wiring harness like # 118304 for a 2008 Toyota Sienna is generally stored in the rear cargo area and then draped through the seam of the rear hatch, like you said, when in use. The hatch seal is padded enough to protect and not damage the wiring. It's generally considered to be safer for the wiring to store it in the rear hatch because it isn't exposed to the elements when not in use.

• How to Connect 4-Pole Trailer Connector to Trailer Wiring With Two Running Lamp Circuits
• Your trailer has what's known as a wishbone harness, where the running light circuit is split into two legs, one for the right side, one for the left. Other trailers will just run the running lamp circuit down one side to that taillight, then daisy chain over to the other taillight. Wishbone harnesses are frequently used on trailers with marker lights on the side. To attach a connector like the # 18004, you'd simply connect the two brown running lamp circuit wires and join them with the...
